#1 - yes they can, but they should understand the ramifications (touch/interruption penalties, what happens to cargo, etc).

#2 - you can add/remove attachments between runs, just make sure that they understand the rule on number of motors.  They can have 4 motors total in their possession when they get to the table.  So, if the robot has 3 motors, and 2 attachments each have a motor, that won't be allowed.

Hello everyone,

 

So I had two very simple questions that came from my team at practice the other night, and we just wanted to check.

 

1.)    Are the kids at the table able to pick the robot up after a challenge and put back at in the base or do they need to program it to come back to the base before starting another run?

 

2.)    Are the kids able to remove and add parts such as arms between programs?

 

Thank you guys!
